Massive shark reeled in by anglers on Texas pier, video shows. ‘Craziest catch ever’

A recent shark catch off the Texas coast is one you have to see to believe, and luckily a fellow angler was there to capture the moment.

Christopher Smith, who runs the Adventure Bro Fishing page on YouTube, said he witnessed the catch off a fishing pier in Port Aransas. He first witnessed the shark dangling off the pier before he got closer for a video.

“I saw the craziest catch ever,” Smith wrote on his YouTube page.

He believes the fish was a tiger or bull shark and estimates it was more than 9 feet long. Smith told McClatchy News the group hoisted it up to the dock, but by that point, the shark had exhausted all of its energy.

“The fish was harvested, and the meat was shared with everyone who helped bring the fish in, and more,” Smith said.

Shark fishing is legal in Texas, where the daily limit is one fish per person.

Port Aransas is on the Gulf of Mexico and is about 40 miles east of Corpus Christi.
